Door Removal and Installation

Failure to comply with these warnings can result in injury and/or
damage:
■ Before removing the oven door, make sure the gas supply and
electrical power to the range are turned off, and that the door and
oven are not hot.
■ Be careful when removing the oven door as it is very heavy. Use
both hands to remove or replace the oven door, and grasp both
sides of the door when handling it.
■ When the door is removed from the range, never release locking
levers or try to close the hinges. Without the weight of the door,
the powerful springs will snap the hinges shut with great force.
6.5.5.1

Removing the Door

1. Follow all safety precautions and steps in Preparing the Range for
Servicing, page 19.
2. Open the door fully, and then push both hinge locks downward
(towards you) as far as they go, until they stop.
3. Firmly grasp the heavy door on both sides, and gently close the
door until it stops against the hinge locks (at about a 45° angle).
4. Be careful not to let the door fall. While still grasping the door
firmly on both sides, exert a bit more force to continue closing the
door another few inches, and when the door is about 10 inches
from being fully closed, it will stop.
5. Pull the door upward to lift it off the range.
6.5.5.2

Installing the Door

1. Follow all safety precautions and steps in Preparing the Range for
Servicing, page 19.
2. Firmly grasp the heavy door on both sides, and with the door open
about 10 inches, carefully guide the hinge arms into the hinge
receiver slots.

3. Slowly open the door a few inches until it stops against the hinge
locks (at about 45°). If the door doesn't stop and can be opened
more, the hinges are not seated properly - it may be necessary to
press the door inward towards the receiver slots, while using a
slight rocking motion to seat the hinges.
4. Be careful not to let the door fall. While still grasping the door
firmly on both sides, exert a bit more force to continue opening the
door fully. Then push the hinge locks upward (away from you) as
far as they go to lock the door onto the range.
5. Open and close the door to make sure the door is positioned
properly and closes with a tight fit.
